Sandpoint, ID — Merck & Co., Inc. took advantage of their leading vaccine developer’s death to tell the world how great vaccinations are because of their leadership. Critics say the “propaganda” is especially ironic, since Dr. Maurice Hilleman’s death coincided with news of a vaccine-linked outbreak of deadly Marburg virus in Africa.

On April 11, 2005, Merck & Co., Inc. eulogized Dr. Hilleman through Business Wire claiming he, “saved literally millions of lives and . . . protected many millions more from disease."

Many industry observers find this ironic since vaccine industrialists have been culpable for some of the world’s most deadly epidemics. In recent years, vaccine-induced illnesses have been determined to range from autistic spectrum disorders in children, including attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity, to AIDS which has killed nearly 40 million people worldwide.

In the eulogy, Merck promoted itself as “a global research-driven pharmaceutical company dedicated to putting patients first. . . . The company also devotes extensive efforts to increase access to medicines through far-reaching programs that not only donate Merck medicines but help deliver them to the people who need them. Merck also publishes unbiased health information as a not-for-profit service.”

“Hogwash!” replied Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, author of Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron Publishing Group; 1-888-508-4787). This 594-page national bestseller published in 1998 presented Merck and Dr. Hilleman’s vaccine enterprise in a much different light. Dr. Horowitz, a Harvard-trained public health investigator concluded Merck’s first four experimental hepatitis B vaccines, administered in 1974 under Dr. Hilleman’s direction in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), triggered AIDS in Africa and gay America . His stunning thesis, presented at the XI International Conference on AIDS in 1996, preceded peer-reviewed scientific publications in the International Journal of Medicine (1997) and Medical Hypothesis (2001).

Dr. Horowitz’s findings particularly disturbed AIDS virus co-discoverer Dr. Robert Gallo, who Dr. Horowitz scientifically challenged during a filmed panel discussion at the conference. (Archive available on request.) Contaminated chimpanzees were shipped from Africa to Merck & Co., Inc. during the early 1970s to supply Dr. Hilleman and federal agency collaborators. They tested four strains of the hepatitis B vaccine simultaneously in New York and Uganda. These antecedents precisely correlated with all known scientific facts regarding the hotly contested “man-made vaccine-linked origin-of-AIDS theory.”

These chimpanzees, Dr. Horowitz documented, were ordered by Dr. Hilleman from Litton Bionetics—the operations administrator for the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Bionetics also served as the premier primate supplier to the vaccine industry while their laboratory experiments mutating cancer and hemorrhagic fever viruses were largely directed by Dr. Gallo on behalf of the NCI. According to the Congressional Record, Bionetics additionally served as the U.S. Army’s sixth leading biological weapons contractor during that time, and according to Dr. Horowitz’s analysis of Bionetics’ records, the Gallo-led group developed numerous AIDS-like and Ebola-like viruses perfect population control as early as 1971.

The Merck release continued . . . "Maurice Hilleman will be historically remembered as THE vaccinologist of the 20th century. His name will be joined forever with people like Pasteur and Koch in the story of man's strivings against pathogens. He was and will continue to be an inspiration to medical scientists seeking ways of using Science for the benefit of people. Hilleman and Merck made 'great music' together and made history," said Dr. Gallo, director of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland’s Biotechnology Institute.

Dr. Horowitz also charges this band of vaccine virologists as being “partly to largely responsible” for the emergence of the Marburg virus—the mother of Ebola. His extraordinary discoveries included NCI interdepartmental records and scientific reports prepared by Bionetics that showed their shipment of 500-600 monkeys to European vaccine production labs in 1967 were contaminated with the first Marburg virus. This deadly agent, currently killing people in Angola, evolved from Bionetics’ cancer and hemorrhagic fever virus studies, according to Dr. Horowitz’s analysis of their scientific records.

Recombinomics, Inc. President, Dr. Henry L Niman, believes the current Marburg epidemic, rapidly spreading in urban Angola, was “seeded” into vaccines given to African infants and young poor children. (See: ht tp://www.recombinomics.com/News/04100504/Marburg_Seeding.html)

Likewise, Dr. Horowitz believes, mentally retarded children on Staten Island, NY were early victims of AIDS from Merck’s hepatitis B vaccine experiments overseen by Dr. Hilleman. This work, conducted at the Willowbrook State School, collaboratively involved Merck, New York University, and the U.S. Army.


Contrasting honest scientific reporting with Merck’s eulogy, Dr. Horowitz said, “These are the same deadly deceptions pharmaceutical propagandists have conducted for decades. I’m certain Merck & Co., Inc. would like to see Dr. Hilleman buried along with these disturbing facts.”
